Doesn't look like he's releasing anything until video playback is fully functional.
Nothing new.

You know...except the fact that everything is working except video playback and that he says video playback is almost finished...

Great new! Can't wait

That is really good news.... too boring these days without flashing.
Wi-Fi issue still around. If I'm lucky, I got it work for the whole day. Usually need to toggle about 3-5 times in a day.
I can't run most 3d games. .......
BTW, I'm on 2.91 odex

Even when using WebOS I have to turn WiFi off and on again.
This is not a problem I have with some of my other devices like my SGS2.

We over at the Atrix 4G forums don't have a working camera in our ICS Alpha, either. It's okay, though... it's not like I used my phone camera ever, that's what my wife's is for.
Our Alpha was kind of rushed, as well, but turned out pretty good. We still don't have hardware acceleration... though some of us, including myself, have rigged things together to get us through *some* of the games with minimal complications. We're still working on it, and haven't had a true update to the ROM in a while, but like anything that's worthwhile it'll take time.
My point being? Thank you everyone that's contributed to this project, I'm sure all of us appreciate what you've done to make this such a great platform.

To be honest I don't care about the camera and I don't think many people will. It's a terrible camera even for video chat, I'd rather just use my phone.
Video playback is a pretty essential thing though, so it's good that it's nearly finished and will be done when it's released. Even if it's really buggy like the first CM7 alpha this will still be a great release.

No Working Camera
I do care, because I am using skype with video mode on.
And this is the main reason why I keep WebOS running most of the time (except better battery performance).
This is not a complain! Just a remark. I'm really happy with my TP!!!
Thanks for all the work of the developers.

this is great news...even tho it sometimes bother me that camera doest work, but having dual boot solves that as i use webOS when i have to use skype with video....
I would love to ICS update without camera...damn cant wait...

I don't think the camera is that important on a tablet. If this is ready for release they should just release it already.

They released alpha versions of GB so I don't see why they can't do that for ICS.

Simply put, because he doesn't want to. That's about the gist of it.
He's an amazing developer...I'm sure he wants to put out a good product with the initial release.

---

if you are excited then show it dude...why do u want to close it? u can ignore it...and we all are discussing the latest update the OP got from the devs....
may be, they are not releasing Alpha becoz many people brick their devices and blame CM team..they must be waiting to make it as easy and safe for everyone to use it...
